Sharma, however indicated that the PM was putting up a show, since he hadn’t even invited his mother to his swearing in ceremony. He also accused the PM of lying about his mother cleaning utensils for a living. “PM says his mother used to clean utensils in other people’s homes. Sadly this is a lie, he is insulting his mother”, said Sharma. “PM did not even invite his mother to swearing-in ceremony. So instead of crying abroad he should be a responsible son”, he added.
